Sink Too Small or Chipped? Plan the Swap
A chipped basin or a sink too shallow for your biggest pans gets harder to live with every time you cook. One of our plumbers sets the new sink and connects the faucet, supply lines, and drain. Having the new sink’s model handy helps us check its fit against your counter and drain height. Call (817) 518-3309 to book a free sink installation estimate.
What Happens During a Sink Installation?
- First, the plumber measures the new sink against the opening and usually tests the shutoff valves underneath.
- Before anything comes apart, you get an estimate with the installed price.
- The old sink comes out, along with any corroded trap or drain parts.
- We set and seal the new sink, then connect the faucet, supply lines, and drain.
- Before leaving, we fill and drain the basin and check each connection under the sink for drips.

Sink Installation FAQs
- Can you install an undermount sink in my Fort Worth kitchen? Yes, on the plumbing side. Your countertop fabricator cuts the opening and mounts an undermount sink to the counter’s underside. Once the sink is in place, your plumber connects the drain, faucet, and supply lines.
- Can I reuse my old faucet with a new sink? Sometimes, if the faucet is in good shape and fits the new sink’s holes. Many homeowners choose a new faucet at the same time, since the connections are already easy to reach.
- How should I get ready for a sink installation? Empty the cabinet under the sink and clear the counter around it. If you bought the sink or faucet yourself, keep the boxes and parts together so nothing goes missing before the visit.
- Will my disposal and dishwasher be reconnected? Usually, yes. Your plumber reconnects an existing disposal and the dishwasher drain, then runs both to check for leaks.
- Will North Texas hard water damage a new sink? Not usually, but it can leave white spots on the basin and scale on the faucet. Wiping the sink dry and cleaning the faucet’s aerator every few months slows the buildup.
Is a New Sink the Right Fix?
A leaking or slow sink doesn’t always need replacing, and a new basin won’t fix a clog in the wall. If the basin is sound and only the trap or a seal leaks, sink repair may be all you need. When water drains slowly even with a clean trap, drain clearing is the next step. If you’re replacing the sink anyway, water filtration can add filtered drinking water too. Call (817) 518-3309 to sort out what your sink needs.
Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Sink
- The basin is chipped, cracked, or stained beyond cleaning.
- Rust or corrosion shows around the drain opening.
- Caulk around the rim keeps cracking and letting water under.
- The drain keeps leaking after repairs.
- Your largest pots don’t fit flat in the basin.
How Much Does Sink Installation Cost in Fort Worth?
At Service Squad, sink installation in Fort Worth typically runs $150 to $400. Where yours lands usually depends on the drain. A new sink that matches the old one’s depth can often tie into the existing drain with new parts. A deeper basin may sit too low for the drain pipe in the wall, and lowering that pipe adds labor.
A free estimate comes first, so you’ll know the installed price before any work begins. Senior and military discounts of up to 10% apply too, though they can’t be combined with other offers.
Common Sink Installation Mistakes to Watch For in Fort Worth
Each slip joint and seal around a kitchen sink has to hold through heavy daily use. A joint set slightly off can work loose. A musty smell or a warped cabinet floor tends to give it away.
Gaps Under the Sink Rim
Old sealant left on the counter can keep a new sink rim from sealing, and splashes seep underneath. The cabinet floor below starts to stain or swell. We scrape off the old sealant and level the sink, then seal the rim before connecting the plumbing.
Tailpieces Out of Line With the Trap
A new basin with its drain in a different spot can leave the tailpiece angled into the old trap. The strained slip nuts start to drip. Your plumber cuts and refits the drain parts until the tailpiece meets the trap straight, then runs water through them.
Dishwasher Drains Without a High Loop
During a sink swap, the dishwasher drain hose can end up lying low instead of looping up under the counter. Sink water backs into the dishwasher and smells sour. The fix is a high loop under the counter, or an air gap where needed, followed by a test cycle.
